    atcwag the growth chart for girls and boys is different.  That is probably why your son would be in a smaller percentile than my daughter even if they weighed about the same.  Unfortunately, DD only weighed 13lbs 12oz, so worse than i thought, putting her in less than the 10%

  • How old is your LO - 6m on 3/27

    Boy or Girl - boy

    How much do they weigh - 13lbs7oz at his 6 month appointment

    How much is your LO eating per day - BM 6-7x,having 2-4oz of solids about 3x a day

    What size diapers are they wearing- 2

    What size clothing are they wearing - some 3-6month stuff and 6 month for length

    Any other pertinent info/concerns/etc? - He was a nice normal 7lbs at birth, and seemed to be growing well, until a 3 month weight check when he fell off his growth line to under the 2cd%.  Despite starting solids and pushing frequent nursing/formula feeding he's still hanging out under 5% and his height is starting to drop too. I'm still not too worried because he's happy, smiley, sleeps well and besides for sitting is hitting all his milestones.  I don't like that his height dropped last time, and now we will continue to go for weight checks and have to do some stool studies as well.  I've never had a baby this small before :(
